CHAPTER 4 - WEDNESDAY

It was Wednesday – the worst day of the week according to Albus. According to Scorpius everyday was the worst. And according to Rose, no matter what day of the week it was she never heard the end of it from the both of them.

"Rose," Teddy called from his room which was opposite from Albus and Scorpius'. Rose walked into his and James' room through the open door.

"Yes?" she replied.

"Why are you going into Scorpius' room?" he asked her.

Rose rolled her eyes. "We're playing Guess Who," she told him "Albus is in there too. Why?"

Teddy held up his hands innocently. "Just checking," he told her.

"To make sure it's not strip poker," James finished. Rose left the James and Teddy laughing as she knocked on Albus' door. She walked in and sat on the floor with the boys.

The three of them new the rules to the game. There were six stages. Each person picked a card from the pile. Every card had one famous Witch or Wizard on it. One person would have their turn at a time and when they had finished their turn in was the next person's turn. The six stages were quite simple. The first stage, a facial feature of your person would appear on you. If another player could guess who it was they received twelve points. The second stage, another feature would appear. A correct guess would receive ten points. The third stage, an object belonging to that person would appear next to you. This would achieve eight points for a correct guess. The fourth stage was like the second but would receive six points on a correct guess. The fifth stage, another object relating to that person would appear and a correct guess was worth four points. The last stage, a word relating to the person would appear as well as another physical feature. That was worth two points.

Albus chose his card first. His eyes ran over it and he put in face down on the floor looking thoughtful.

"Ready?" he asked Rose and Scorpius.

"We are ready to Guess Who," Scorpius and Rose recited together.

Albus' green eyes transfigured into a pair of bright blue ones. Rose concentrated hard on them.

"No idea," Scorpius said. Rose nodded in agreement. Next Albus grew a long grey beard that trailed down onto the floor. Scorpius burst out laughing.

"Suits you," Rose commented. This only made Scorpius laugh even harder.

"Very funny," Albus said "do you know who I am?"

"You look familiar," Rose said. She made a frustrated sound. "I'm so sure I know who you are!"

"Scorp?" Albus asked.

"Mrs. Donnolen from down the street?" Scorpius guessed. Albus and Scorpius laughed together whilst Rose frowned in disapproval.

Next a pair of half moon spectacles appeared on Albus' face.

"Albus Dumbledore!" Rose cried out. "That's quite fitting."

"Eight points," Albus smiled at Rose as he the blue eyes, glasses and beard disappeared "Your turn Scorp."

Scorpius groaned as he looked at who he had.

"We are ready to Guess Who," Rose and Albus said together.

Suddenly a pair of big, plump lips appeared on Scorpius. They had bright red lipstick smeared all over them. There was a silence and then…

Albus and Rose rolled on the floor with hysterical laughter. Scorpius frowned, crossed his arms and pursed his lips together. This only made the two laugh even harder. The door swung open where James and Teddy poked their curious heads in.

"What's all the racket about?" Teddy asked.

Albus coughed as he tried to breathe normally. "Scorpius is a girl," he said as he and Rose both dissolved into another fit of laughter.

"Yeah we already knew that," James smirked. Teddy chuckled along with James. Scorpius turned to scowl at them but was welcomed by another round of laughter only this time from Teddy and James.

"Salazar, Godric, Rowena and Helga," Teddy said as he wiped his eyes.

"That's it!" Albus exclaimed.

"What?" Rose exclaimed back.

"Do I say who he…I mean she is or," Albus gave a crafty look "let a few more features appear?"

James and Teddy laughed as they reclosed the door and left.

"Maybe just one more," Rose said. Scorpius glared at the both of them. But he couldn't be taken seriously with those lips.

Next Scorpius' chest expanded. "Oh no stop," Rose moaned as she clutched her stomach "I need to breath!"

Scorpius crossed his arms in irritation. However this only made his newly formed breast push up together.

Albus grinned at his best friend. "Nice rack," he teased.

"You hit on me and I'll…" Scorpius warned.

"What?" Albus grinned "Smooch me to death?"

Rose blinked away her tears and squished her cheeks together.

"Albus, can you just say who I am already?" Scorpius moaned.

"Godric no," Albus laughed.

Next a small golden cup appeared next to Scorpius.

"Oh," Rose nodded "I know who you are now."

"Splendid," Scorpius sulked as he knew this did not mean that his turn would be over.

His short blonde hair turned a honey colour and thick curls fell down top his back.

"Oh isn't he enchanting Rosie?" Albus asked Rose who was curled up on the floor. "I think he's very tempting."

"Can't," she gasped "breath!"

"I'm glad I amuse you," Scorpius said dryly.

A wand developed next to Scorpius. Albus managed to shake his head.

"Please guess," Scorpius begged.

Lastly a word appeared next to Scorpius: Badger. Also yellow painted finger nails shot out of Scorpius' fingernails.

"Scorpius you look so…" Albus searched for the right word and Scorpius glowered at him "womanly."

"Oh shut up would you," Scorpius grumbled moodily.

Next was Rose's turn. Her long red hair changed into wavy brown locks. Neither Scorpius nor Albus could guess who she was. For the second stage her brown eyes changed into bright blue ones. Rose thought it was quite obvious at this point however she know who she was so she was patient.

"Hold on a sec," Scorpius said as she was about to move onto the third stage "I think I know it." He frowned a little in concentration as he looked into her blue eyes. His eyes searched hers and he ignited a deep gaze between them. A small blush began to rise in Rose's cheeks as the intensity of his stare became emotive. She returned the gaze, looking into his grey eyes.

Albus just looked between the two of them, his eyes moving back and forwards from Rose to Scorpius. He felt like he shouldn't have been there, that it was a private moment. He knew it was bound to happen sooner or later and subsequently it was obviously the latter.

Scorpius seemed to blink out of a trance. "Adora Kerr," he said.

"Correct," Rose said in the same soft tone. Her hair returned to red and her eyes to brown.

"Who?" Albus asked.

"Honestly," Rose said shaking her head as she packed the charm case away "didn't you listen in potions at all Albus?"

"Potions never was my strong point," Albus reasoned sounding like he had told them enough times during their years at Hogwarts for them to know off by heart now.

"Adore Kerr was the Witch who invented Amortentia," Scorpius explained "which is more commonly known as the Love Potion."

"Oh," Albus said. There was an awkward silence.

Which Rose brought as quickly as she could. "Well I'll be going to bed then?"

"Good idea," Albus nodded vigorously.

"Night," Scorpius called out.

"Night," Rose smiled. She then closed the door behind her. Neither of the boys spoke, mainly because they didn't know what to say. They were both thinking the same thing but neither one was going to admit it. Albus decided that he should probably say something.

"You make a great girl for what it's worth," he tried.

Scorpius smiled. "Let's just stick to being friends," he teased. Albus chuckled as he reached for his pajamas. Albus, Rose and Scorpius had been friends since the start of their school years at Hogwarts. He had endured Rose and Scorpius' constant competition. With the competitiveness came the realisation that they were alike in many ways however this always resulted in constant bickering. He had discovered though, from his Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione, that there were many different types of bickering. Albus had always been the quiet type. Some people were quiet out of shyness. Albus though, was quite because he observed so many things and this allowed him to pick up on the things that others didn't. He realised that some people were born to clash with others in a way that was not necessarily bad. He had evidence of this – Ron and Hermione. He also saw that in Rose and Scorpius. Although they continually argued and fought, competed against each other and were both very opinionated, all that was what kept the spark going. He realised it, everyone else seemed to realise it. Everyone except Rose and Scorpius themselves that is. It was incredibly infuriating but now with Draco Malfoy keeping a close eye on his son and the House Rules clearly stated there wasn't much anyone could do.

With a sigh he knew that even if there weren't all those complications Rose and Scorpius would never admit that they possibly liked each other, that's just how they were. Sometimes Albus worried about their children.

"You're thinking so much you're creating a gravitational pull over there Al," Scorpius told him with a playful smile "what's making your cogs turn?"

"Nothing that would interest you," Albus shrugged as he climbed into the bottom bunk.

"Try me," Scorpius told him.

"Just Rose," Albus replied airily.

"Oh," Scorpius said. He coughed as he pulled the covers over him "what about her?"

Albus secretly smiled to himself. "Nothing really," he said "I was just thinking that she's grown into a beautiful young lady that's all." He waited for a response.

"I guess," Scorpius said quietly. There was a pensive silence. "I mean, she's sort of pretty."

"Sort of?"

"I– well…she's like my sister so it's not like I can say something like 'she's really attractive' can I?"

"She's like your sister," Albus repeated to himself wistfully.

"Yeah," Scorpius agreed.

"But she is attractive," Albus pressed.

"Al, she's your cousin." Scorpius frowned.

"But she's not yours," Albus said, letting the words flow up to the top bunk.

"So?" Scorpius pursued. He swallowed.

"So what?" Albus asked.

"So what do you mean by 'she's not your cousin'?" Scorpius asked frustrated.

"Just because she's my cousin doesn't mean she isn't attractive. She can still be attractive to someone who isn't her cousin…like someone else…"

"Who else thinks she's attractive?" Scorpius asked rather demandingly.

Albus smirked. "Well I don't know," he shrugged "others I guess."

"Oh…right."

"Yep…well, I think I'll be going to sleep now." Albus said slowly.

"Yeah," Scorpius nodded lost in thought "that's a good…yeah."

"Right well, goodnight."

"Mhmm."

Albus smiled to himself as he fell asleep.
